NWCHS19- Mini Competition- Old Trafford Sports Barn Improvement Works

Tender description

The Council has identified the need to enter into a PCSA with a design and build contractor in order to to undertake the works of capital improvements to Old Trafford Sports Barn in Old Trafford. The Council is looking to take the indicative design through the RIBA stages, secure planning permission and produce an indicative cost plan. The Council proposes to enter into a Pre Contract Service Agreement (PCSA) that would take the layout shared by the operator, work the design through the RIBA stages, secure planning permission and produce a cost plan. On receipt of these items and the Council determining they are generally able to proceed, a main contract will be executed. The Council determined that the most appropriate route to market for the design and build project was procuring through the North West Construction Hub (NWCH) Framework. The NWCH call-off route involves a two-stage process whereby an Expression of Interest stage is used to determine which Contractors are interested in the opportunity. This process ensures that only the Contractors looking to bid are taken through to the Invitation to Tender stage. The expression of interest period ran from 6th October 2025 to 13th October 2025. Following the Expression of Interest, the NWCH route to market involves a second stage tender - the process is restricted to those Contractors who expressed an interest. The tender was run through the Chest e-procurement portal with the tender period running from 27th October 2025 to 24th November 2025 (circa 28 days).
